This is unbelievable, unconscionable. Which Tennessee House representatives want to vote this bill in? They need to be voted out.

They need to be prosecuted.

Superb investigation. The liability shield framing reveals precisely how regulatory capture works at the state level. I've tracked similiar bills in other jurisdictions and the pattern is identical. What's most insidious is the preemptive scope covering future products, essentially creating a carte blanche for untested chemicals. The vaccine comparision is apt tho, same playbook different industry.

Unbeleivable. This world is full of psychopaths killing us slowly with their chemicals, sometimes with their vaccines, and don't get me started about all the nuclear weapons in the world.

I just finished reading an important book about "forever chemicals " in the environment , which are chemicals which are very toxic and not biodegradable. The book is called "They Poisoned the World " by Mariah Blake, about chemicals like PFAS , used in making Teflon and other products. It seems that that there is not one human being on this earth that does not have some of this chemical in his blood. And NO place in the world where it cannot be found. And , although there has been progress reducing the stuff polluting everywhere , companies like Dupont and 3M knew for years these were toxic and lied to cover up. Just like with vaccines. Especially affected were some people working in their factries, and people living around their plants. People were coming up with a variety of ailments like kidney cancer ( and dying from it ) , ulcerative colitis, birth defects etc.... People like in the town of Hoosier Falls, New York. These companies are literally murderers.

I think RFK Jr. was involved in a case in a town in West Virginia. The case there was made into a movie called "Dark Waters".

Boycott all Bayer products for yourselves and for your pets. Elanco bought out Bayer's animal products back in 2020 but Bayer made products like:Flea & Tick: Advantage II (cats/dogs), Advantix II (dogs), Seresto collars. Seresto was sued bc dogs died from those collars and humans were injured as well. Here is the info on that suit.

Heartworm: Advantage Multi (dogs/cats).

Dewormers: Drontal Plus (dogs), Drontal (cats).

Skin/Bacterial: Baytril (antibiotic), Malaseb (shampoo).

OFF TOPIC: RACIST TRUMP

I always wonder what the hell RFK Jr. is doing in a Trump administration. True, without Trump he would not be there , doing good work, but it seems contra natura. But just to remind those of w you who are hard core MAGA assholes , here an excerpt from an article from The Guardian about Trump's racist speech today at Davos:

GUARDIAN ARTICLE

"The ageing president, who in 2024 complained, “We got a lot of bad genes in our country right now,” told the World Economic Forum that he was “derived from Europe”, namely: “100% Scotland, my mother; 100% German, my father. And we believe deeply in the bonds we share with Europe as a civilisation.”

He lamented that “certain places in Europe are not even recognisable, frankly, any more”, blaming culprits that included “unchecked mass migration”. Trump said: “It’s horrible what they’re doing to themselves. They’re destroying themselves, these beautiful, beautiful places. We want strong allies, not seriously weakened ones.”

What came next was pure racism as Trump reflected on immigration to his own country, where he has made the Somali community a special target of his deportation rhetoric after recent government fraud cases in Minnesota in which a majority of defendants had Somali roots.

“We’re cracking down on more than $19bn in fraud that was stolen by Somalian bandits,” he said. “Can you believe that Somalia – they turned out to be higher IQ than we thought. I always say these are low-IQ people. How did they go into Minnesota and steal all that money?”

Then he got to the heart of the matter: “The situation in Minnesota reminds us that the west cannot mass-import foreign cultures which have failed to ever build a successful society of their own. I mean, we’re taking people from Somalia, and Somalia is a failed – it’s not a nation. Got no government, got no police, got no nothing.” (Somalia does, in fact, have a government, though not democratically elected.)

He launched a bitter tirade at Ilhan Omar, a Somali-born Democratic congresswoman who is a US citizen. Then he insisted: “The explosion of prosperity and conclusion and progress that built the west did not come from our tax codes. It ultimately came from our very special culture.

“This is the precious inheritance that America and Europe have in common, and we share it. We share it but we have to keep it strong. We have to become stronger, more successful and more prosperous than ever. We have to defend that culture and rediscover the spirit that lifted the west from the depths of the dark ages to the pinnacle of human achievement.”

Trump’s speech had the fingerprints of Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff and architect of his draconian immigration policy, all over it. It chimed with an entire discourse of white identity politics festering on the US right.

Libturd Alert: Marc is here.

The Guardian, a real rag and the speech was fantastic.

Please take your propaganda and shove it. You are a sick twist and applaud every amoral and abnormal situation under the sun as that is what your ilk excels in. Oh btw, you are late for your next covid jab. Run to the nearest pharmacy asap. That should do it.

Somalia, LOL. Go move there. You would fit right in. You can marry your sister ( or maybe you already have) and become a citizen there. They would just love you. If you don't have the balls to do that which I suspect you don't and likely are castrated with a small empty scrotal sac leftover, then there are many easy border crossings you can take to get out. Bye Bye degenerate.

Where are the Democrats?? Weird. 🤔

TN dems are opposed to it

Andrew J. Cass's avatar

Really? Where are they? Name them.

This bill came up last session in TN. They all voted against it and eventually helped kill it. Republicans have a majority in Tennessee - https://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/default.aspx?BillNumber=HB0809&GA=114

Well, that’s good to see considering they all just voted AGAINST a bill that would ban sex exchange surgery on CHILDREN. Oh, and this after they voted AGAINST a bill that would deport ILLEGAL migrants who commit sex crimes against American citizens.

Marc's avatar

You just don't want to give any credit to Democrats no matter what . Banning pesticides has always been a major Democratic issue while most Republicans do not give a shit , except for those on this site which is commendable. They are not against people who commit sex crimes. The big differerence is that people like you would like to see these people fucking FRY .

Andrew J. Cass's avatar

Give credit to the party who supports illegal migration and sanctuary cities (funded with tax payer dollars) and the party who voted against a bill that would require a US citizenship to vote, voted against a bill that would deport illegal migrants who commit sex crimes against Americans, and voted against a bill to ban sex change surgery for children. Those Democrats? Because that’s not a political party. That’s a cult.
